John Novosad is a stand-up comedian based out of Comedy Works in Denver, Colorado. His Dry Bar special was released on YouTube in December of 2024 and has over 2 million views.
Making his network television debut on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, John followed that up with a second performance on the Ferguson show. He’s also appeared on Bryon Allen’s nationally syndicated Comedy.TV.
John’s album, “Jokes I Can Only Tell Here,” was released via the Laugh Button in the spring of 2022 where it hit over 1 million views on their Youtube channel. It has since been redistributed by 800 Pound Gorilla where it has acquired nearly 700,000 additional views.
John grew up in Boulder, Colorado. He’s toured extensively performing in clubs, theatres, and bars across the country for over thirty years and continues to do so.

Zac Maas is a comedian, writer, filmmaker and actor. He has headlined comedy shows in 49 states. His first comedy album, Punching Jesus, topped the charts in 2023. He appeared on Spaghetti High on Adult Swim. He is one of the 50 best-undiscovered comedians in the country, according to Thrillist. He represented Colorado on United Dates of America. See him on a new HBO show coming in 2026 (It’s a secret). 



It’s hard to believe, but the 2026 Arapahoe Alumni Celebration is fast approaching.  The Alumni Association Board of Directors would like to invite you to The Arapahoe Alumni Celebration at the Ella Missing Center on Saturday, May 23, 2026 and honor you and your fellow classmates.

  • “Social Hour” from 4:30 until 6:30 with the banquet meal and entertainment to follow.  
If your Honor Class is meeting at another venue we are encouraging all Honor Classes to take part in the “Social Hour”. There will be snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and a cash bar available during this time. Honor Classes that have taken advantage of this have commented how much they enjoyed being able to socialize with other classes, and having a central area to gather and then stay for the banquet.  Please contact Jordan Spaulding at (308-655-0676) or e-mail at [email protected] to reserve tables for your Honor Class.
